Wowza, you are so right that creating products for TPT is different than creating things for your classroom! I appreciate the time you took to film this tutorial/series because I've wanted to become a seller for years but have never started because it was intimidating when reading through the policies and procedures. You explained this in a way that makes this task seem much more doable and that's amazing! Thanks again.
Hi Michelle! Thanks for this series. It's been super helpful! You've helped me so much with your videos through the past couple of years that I wanted to offer some tricks I use when lining up text boxes @ 11:02.
I will either press the shift key along with the arrow key and move the text box. This moves the box ever so slightly. I can also choose both boxes, right click, choose Align vertically, and middle. This will line the boxes up perfectly!
I hope you're enjoying this Texas heat!!
Thanks Michelle! I love learning how to do/make new things using technology! You always make it look so easy!
Hi Michelle. WOW - Thank you for this video. As a teacher - you are amazing at teaching how to get up and running. I could not have managed to create my own TPT account with all of these items without your guidance. I really appreciate you and you knowledge. You are truly gifted. Sincerely, Tara McCarthy, Adapted PE Teacher - New TPT page owner.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. I love seeing your big smile and encouraging words. You are such a positive light for teachers. Please continue sharing your gifts with all teachers. We appreciate it!
Thank You, Michelle! This mini-series has been so helpful. I’ve been thinking about stepping out on faith and opening a TPT shop for some time now and these videos have encouraged me to do just that, so thank you! In terms of creating a shop name, can you explain how to create a shop name that is uniquely yours and hasn’t already been taken?
Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm a long time TPT purchaser and I've always wondered how this was done. Spending my summer learning something new :)
🌟 Wow ! What an incredible tutorial you've created. Your step-by-step guide has truly made selling on Teachers Pay Teachers so much more understandable. 🙌🎉 Thanks a million for generously sharing your expertise, Michel! 🙏💫
Thank you so much for this video. I have viewed this video several times to create notes and as a refresher when I think I might have missed a step.
I love how this is so informative! A lot of videos are more opinionated on do’s and dont’s of TpT. This one isn’t! And it’s refreshing. Thank you(:
Aww, thank you so much for your kind feedback Katie! 🖤 I really appreciate you watching!
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation. Creating a product has lots of steps but it’s so rewarding when people start purchasing your products. I haven’t created a product in a long time but it was helpful to see how to do it on google slide so thank you for that. I love drawing and would love to learn how to sell clip arts.
You are so very welcome! Thank you for your kind feedback Nellie! 🖤 I appreciate you watching and am happy you found this helpful!
After watching this video, all I can say is WOW!!! This is why I will happily pay for a product vs. trying to create it myself. 😂 Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate your time to show us .
Huge thanks! - I found the step-by-step approach super helpful!
Thank you SO much for this video and others!! I have been trying to figure out literally just STEP 1 on how to get a tpt store started haha. I feel so much better now!!
Thanks, Michelle! I am loving this series! You're the best!
Aww, thank you so much for watching Stacy! 🖤 I'm so happy you're loving it!
Thank you for this series! I've followed your previous videos (seriously, when we had to go fully digital for quarantine, it was a "Jesus take the wheel" situation and you were a bless-sing) So when I noticed you had started a TpT series I was so happy to not have to struggle with finding a youtuber that my ADD doesn't immediately balk at (it's a me problem, but it's real). Anyway! This series was really helpful and if you are thinking of adding to it (PLEASE!) I'm definitely struggling with mockups and previews, and the storefront side of things, as well as technical/security measure aspects such as watermarks. I know there's more, but I think that's a good starting point as far as shamelessly begging for more content. Thanks again!
This was so helpful! I’ve been on TPT since 2018, but haven’t sold much. I love your simplicity and common sense ideas. I’m excited to streamline my store with your suggestions.
Thank you so much for your kind words Kim! I appreciate you watching and taking time to comment! Please let me know if you have any questions along the way! 🖤🥰
Thank you so much Mrs. Emerson!! I really appreciated this!!!
So helpful! Thank you Michelle!
Thank you SO much. This is so helpful. I am here for all your TPT expertise! :)
Great video!! Your art is the prettiest of all the art
Very helpful. I am amazed that without know the correct way to do these things I was pretty much on target, gotta do a few tweaks. thanks.
This is phenomenal content. You are such a great teacher of teachers. I learn so much from you!! Thank you so much for making this content for us. Have a great summer.
Aww, thank you SO much Kathleen! I'm so happy you're enjoying it and I really appreciate you watching! 🖤 I hope you have a great summer too!
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! this was so easy to follow and I feel SO much better about starting a TPT store :)
Thank you so much! Great video in tpt store series !🚨
I’m loving this series!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! I'm so happy you're enjoying the series! 🖤
Ummm... This was the most helpful video I have ever seen on TPT content creation. Thank you!
Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your sharing.
Hi Michelle. This is so awesome! I’m so happy for you! I love how you continue to support teachers. I look forward to you weekly videos and learn more every time! Keep up this great work. Will you be at any conferences ? I would love to attend any of your sessions!
Thank you so much Yvette! 🖤 I appreciate your continued support! Bridget and I are hosting a TOP Teacher PD Live Event on July 25th in York, PA if you are able to attend! Otherwise, I am doing some PD for schools and districts but they aren't open to the general public. I'll be sure to share if any new events come up though!
So good!! You are a wonderful teacher and I was happily surprised to see you create a product from start to finish. I would also like to learn how to create an editable document that is also secured. Thank you again.
I was thinking the same! Especially with the Love, Mrs. Emerson part, how our customers can change that.
These steps are very helpful for future teachers. Thanks for making your directions very clear.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your kind feedback Gwei! 🖤
Thank you so much for this!! I am going to start creating this week. TIP: You can right click on your images/ rectangles and place them exactly where you want them (ex. .73inches from top)
I found this helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much for this!!!
Thank you for this video. Super generous of you.
Thank you so much for watching! 🖤
Thank you for the VDO. It is very useful.
Interesting tutorial! I don't plan on becoming a seller on TPT, but this gives me some ideas for creating products for my classroom and grade level team. You always do such a thorough job explaining the steps and giving various options and preferences. Also, I hope your book writing process has still been going well! 📖
Thank you so, so much Amanda! I'm so happy you can apply this to your classroom 🖤 Also, THANK YOU! The book is definitely coming along and most of July will be dedicated to it so I can't wait to share the finished product!
Loved it!
Thanks 😊
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching! 🖤
Thankyou! So helpful, I can make resources for my students !!!
Thank you so much for watching Rebecca! 🖤
Hey Michelle hopefully things are well for you all. I love the puppy:)
Hi Erik! Thanks for watching! Things are great for me and I hope the same goes for you!
This is so helpful! Will you be sharing how to create custom fonts? Or is there a resource you'd suggest for learning this? 😊
I would love more infos about your process in writing a book. I’m writing a book too and your other video was really helpful!
I will definitely do another vlog in July with some more details because I'll be finishing it within the next few weeks! 🖤 Thank you for expressing your interest!
Love the info- Thank you. I teach US History and often need images of places, object, people.... Do you have information on how to use these images? Tips or tricks to find the "free to use" images???
You are such a wonderful teacher! I so appreciate you teaching us how to do these things! I do have a question- what if I want to flatten/protect images (let’s say a border and clip art), but I want all the text to be editable so teachers can customize it?
I had the same question and found that she covered in this other video ruclips.net/video/X6ppo3GvMh4/видео.html - min 10. Basically you export the general design as image to Powerpoint and then insert text boxes for the parts that need to be editable. I hope it helps
There's also an option to align, vertically and/or horizontally. Then you don't have to click and drag items around the page and fight to get them in line.
Can you please explain how you create a product that offers the buyer the ability to edit the document but also secure it? For example the birthday tag includes the name, how can the buyer edit the tag to include their name?
YES! That's coming in my vlog next week... I will show you the behind the scenes of me creating an editable product 🖤
@@PocketfulofPrimary Awesome! I was just about to ask about that!
@@PocketfulofPrimary Hi! Will you address flattening and securing a PowerPoint that I want to remain as a PowerPoint presentation with animations, transitions, and such? I really appreciate your attention to detail. Very informative video!
Thank you so much!! I am thinking of starting my TPT store. I bought my own device so that I can start. I have alot of products I’ve made for my classroom and teachers in my campus have been telling me that they would buy them! This motivated me to start. Your videos on this matter are very helpful for me! ❤️
Aww, that's awesome! I wish you the best of luck on your journey! 🖤 I'm happy to hear that this video as helpful for you and hopefully the next few videos will be as well!
This video is super helpful! Thank you so much! I'm trying to flatten my document using Adobe, however, I think I might not be able to do this using the free version of Adobe. Does anyone have a way to flatten a document (without making it blurry) without subscribing to Adobe or another paid service? The same goes for securing it with a password. I'm also curious why making a product into a pdf isn't enough to flatten it/ why do you have to go through the step of making each page an image first? Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this playlist! How do you organize and digitally store your clipart you purchase? I'm finding that some can't be uploaded to my google drive once I download it and I'm trying to figure out the best way to store them so I can easily find what I need to use them quickly when I need them! Thank you!!
I really don’t understand why people like Educlip’s clipart so much. I like Krista Wallden’s clipart and Creating4theClassroom. I had to reread her TOU to make sure her art could be used to make resources because I rarely see products with her art style. When I make my resources I need it all to be similar in theme.
Thank you for this helpful video!!!! Would you recommend purchasing adobe acrobat in order to secure? I didn't realize how expensive that subscription was....
This is awesome! Does Google automatically let you sell products you made or do you have to purchase a special license?
Hi there! Thank you so much for creating this resource! It was incredibly helpful to me as I created my first resource for the start of my TPT store! I ran into one problem that I am hoping you can help me troubleshoot. I downloaded the files from Google Slides as JPG and PNG, and both ways caused my product to be blurry. Even when I uploaded it to Adobe to create my PDF file, it was still blurry. How do I solve this problem? Thank you in advance for your help!
Are you able to use all of the fonts on Google slides for commercial use? :) I would also love to see how you make a document that the consumer can edit!
Thank you! What is "LLC" in the copyright info?
Thank you so much for this video series! It has been super helpful! I am having issues with the conversion between pdf and jpg from google slides. When I follow your instructions to dwonload the entire pdf file at the same time (or even do it alternative ways), my instruction page comes out with the text very poor quality. The other pages have no issues with quality, but for this first product I'm making, they are much more simple than the directions page. Do you know of any solutions for this? Thanks!
What a great! If you are pulling clip art from google, should you include that in your credits?
Thank you for the videos. I found them helpful. I'm having problem exporting as pdf. It is creating multiple pages for my document instead exporting it as a single file. How do I fix that?
Hey Michelle! Is there a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat that you recommend?
Hello Michelle,
I have been watching a lot of your videos as I am about to launch my TPT store! I wanted to get your opinion on my first "free" product. I made a slide deck with 8minute or so warm up for each day M/F - Quick Write Prompts, T/TH - Word Part, and W - Allusions. There are 4 weeks worth of them in total and is about 75 slides. Is this too large for my first free product? Should I maybe do like create just a 1 week one and then upload full month as my first paid product? Hoping you could give me your opinion! Thanks =)
When you were putting in your font, how did you get the box to the side of your fonts to appear with the choices of extra light, light, normal, medium, etc.? I can't get that to pop up on mine and was wondering if there was a way I could get it to.
Do you have to link the TPT store that the clip art is from? I noticed since you converted to jpeg that maybe the link went away?
I used to have your problem moving my duplicated stuff and aligned it, so I discover that it's easier to use the keyboard haha.
This is so helpful! I need help though with making my slides into images. It won't let me export to JPEG on Adobe unless I pay the subscription. Is there another, free, way that I can convert all the slides at the same time?
Hello thank you for this video I have a question how to add a link in the description?
This seems to work for exporting out image files (such as JPEG). What about multiple slides, as in lesson slides? I export out to PowerPoint but that often causes issues, such as overlapping text that wasn't overlapping in Google Slides. In that case I have thus far found it easier to just to use PowerPoint, knowing that what you see is what you get. Exporting to PDF (from Google Slides) seems good though, and when using File>Download>PDF, rather than Print to PDF, links maintain functionality!
I need help with covers!
Can I make something/edit a worksheet on Canva and then sell it on TPT? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi! My questions is: Can we use any clipart if we are creating a product? What things are allowed to be use and what is not allowed?
You are so good at posting TPT products. I am still happy with this. I am always excited for my 11th birthday in december. Thank you, Michelle!
And one more thing, I have been earning $100,000 dollars per day.
Thank you so much for watching! 🖤
@@PocketfulofPrimary Thank you Michelle! ❤
Hi Michelle, just wondering about the Balloon clipart- I thought it said under "DON'TS" that it shouldn't be used for on-demand printable items- would brithday cups not count for that?
Hi there! On-demand printable items typically refers to posters, t-shirts, mugs, etc. from services like Printify. Labels for a birthday cup would not be an on-demand printable item. In cases like this, you can always email the clipart seller and ask if you need clarification!
Hi Michelle, which Adobe Acrobat do you use? I saw there’s a free one or monthly subscription one? Sorry, I’m a newbie here 🤦🏻♀️
what is the difference between the first and second pdf file that you created? Would the first file, exported to pdf, still be editable?
How do you make sure your product isn’t too much like another sellers product? I’m just afraid that when I search for ideas of products I’ll end up making very similar copies even when I don’t look at the product a second time for inspiration. It seems so many people on TPT use the black bar and white lettering you use when creating their stuff.
If you are selling a Google slides graphic organizer to solve math problems like system of equations with two variables would you save It as a picture or keep it as Google slides documents. Do I change it to pdf? Thank you
How Do you keep the clip artist link intact when you flatten your product?
Can you do a biblical curriculum on the site
Maybe this is a dumb question but when you added your copyright at the bottom of your product, is that something that you purchase (a copyright)? Or do you just put the (c) before your store name?? 😅 thanks!
Is it required to create an llc?
Hi, My BIG question is how do you make your name part editable? So the rest of your doc is secure and non editable?
I have a dumb question 🤷♀️ why do you have to use a personal device? One more off the wall question- when people do books & comprehension questions do you need permission from the author? Your video was so helpful! Thank you
If you password protect the document will the buyer need the password to open it?
I have a question, do I have to give credit to the pictures that I got off of google that were free?
How does the process change if the product is designed to be projected as a presentation?
Is it possible to work from the phone on this site?
Question, do you actually have to copyright it or just teachers pay teachers automatically copyright
❤
Good morning everyone
Thank you for watching! 🖤
What if you have a link in your document? When you insert it as an image it removes the link
Hi Michelle. This is so very helpful. Thank you. When I open my pdf in Adobe, I cannot export the image to jpg? Is this because I am using the free edition of Adobe? If so, is there a work-around for this ... or do I need to purchase Adobe? Thank you for any information. Take care.
Hi there! Yes, it is most likely due to having the free version of Adobe. I haven't had the free version in years so I'm not positive what the limitations are but you can probably look on Adobe's website to compare the features of the different versions. Good luck!
Michelle: thank you for your videos!!! Unrelated question: Does it bother you that now we have to give our SS# to get paid as sellers by TpT?
Actually just closed my account because I won’t give up that information. Am I the only one? Thank you, Daniela
Can I just save as PDF rather than going through all the other steps?
What process did you use to get your Copyright on your creations?
I'll clarify this in a future video but copyright protects original works of authorship and doesn't require registration. All TpT products are protected under the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act since they are original works of authorship.
@@PocketfulofPrimary Thank you! You are an incredible inspiration, and I have used so many of your wonderful ideas for my classroom. Blessings back to you!
Why do you have to use a personal computer in order to create?
Since, you have personal information on their website you can stored more? Not using the school since it can be limited what you doing.
Because anything made on a school or work issued computer is often subject to their regulation which often includes that anything designed on that property, regardless of whether or not they made it, belongs to them.
Because your school district would likely not be happy if they found out you were using a computer they supplied you to make your own money. Most districts have a technology agreement saying you'll only use your district issued computer for school purposes. It's the same reason many districts have said teacher vloggers cannot vlog during their planning time or on school property. They don't want you working on your own business endeavors on their dime.
Both Jessica and Firefly930 summed it up pretty well! You have a technology agreement for your school/district issued device which almost 100% includes a clause about not using it for non-work related purposes.
Why can’t you just export the original Google Slide to PDF rather than saving them as images and creating a new PDF?
My question as well? Why is there the extra step?
Couldn’t you have exported the slides directly to pdf instead of images, and then secured the pdf? This is quite confusing.
Why can’t we use school provided devices?
Most school issued devices have a contract in place that prevents commercial use of any kind. Even if you don't have a specific contract for your device, you most likely have a contract for your employment that dictates how you can use the technology.
I think that if you were doing something as easy as birthday tags, your presentation would have been more streamlined. For example, changing the size of yr fonts so many times and not being able to line things up. Also, I question you not leaving a small space between yr cards and on the outer border. You need to slow down a bit. Looked rushed.
I’m showing the creative process behind a product because some people are curious about. Creating a product isn’t always streamlined… this is a realistic look at how it comes together. Also, you’re more than welcome to leave space between the tags if you create them. After years of cutting out tags and cards for my classroom, I have found it easiest and the biggest time saver if they don’t have space between. You can slow down the speed of a RUclips video or pause along the way if I’m going too fast for your learning style. Everyone is different!
Why is it so imp to use google slides and not a normal but secured pdf. This is what I can’t understand. Evrybody on tpt seems to favor google slides. I have never used them so that’s why I’m asking.
